Sentences: The Life of M. F. Grimm

In 2007, DC Comics published this single-issue biographical comic by writer Percy Carey and artist Ronald Wimberly. It offers a stark, firsthand account of Carey’s own life as M.F. Grimm, a hip-hop artist navigating violence, incarceration, and paralysis. A raw and personal document from the Vertigo imprint, it stands as a powerful, early example of a creator using the mainstream comics format to tell his own uncompromising real-life story.
